Description:

Why do polished stones look wet? How does the Twin Paradox
work? What if Jupiter were a star? How can we be sure that pi
never repeats? How does a quantum computer break encryption?
Discover the answers to these, and other profound physics
questions!

This fascinating book presents a collection of articles based on
conversations and correspondences between the author and complete
strangers about physics and math. The author, a researcher in
mathematical physics, responds to dozens of questions posed by
inquiring minds from all over the world, ranging from the
everyday to the profound.

Rather than unnecessarily complex explanations mired in
mysterious terminology and symbols, the reader is presented with
the reasoning, experiments, and mathematics in a casual,
conversational, and often comical style. Neither over-simplified
nor over-technical, the lucid and entertaining writing will guide
the reader from each innocent question to a better understanding of
the weird and beautiful universe around us.

Advance praise for Do Colors Exist?:

“Every high school science teacher should have a copy of this
book. The individual articles offer enrichment to those students
who wish to go beyond a typical‘dry curriculum’.
The articles are very fun. I probably laughed out loud every 2-3
minutes. This is not easy to do. In fact, my children are
interested in the book because they heard me laughing so
much.”
